Well, here's the self-righteous asshole again. Speaking of assholes,
couldn't you come up with a better explanation? Do you really expect 
us to believe that? What you wanted was to bury net.abortion and 
net.lang.pascal in flames, but no one fell for it because your flame 
wasn't worth a followup. Now you're making up this lame story about 
a bet. You should run for something.

YOU wanted to bother anyone in sight. Before I thought a public apology
to the net on your part would have been enough. No, you should be
removed completely. All you contribute is vandalism.

Yes, your stunt didn't work this time. But it did last time you did
it, and you fucked up net.auto. What gives you the idea that jokes
belong in those lists anyway?

> Now don't you feel stupid, dumb-shit.

Can't you think of something more original to call me? The reason
no one complained but me is because you did it before and were
caught, so people are a lot more careful about following up your
messages. The reason I caught it is that as a site administrator,
I watch these things more carefully than others.

The net wasn't designed for your entertainment. It exists because
private companies and universities are willing to pay for it. This
list is here as a place for people to blow off steam, as an alternative
to doing it in other lists. What you're trying to do, apparently, is
to turn every list into net.flame. Your flames aren't very entertaining
either.

Some sites don't receive net.flame because they aren't paying the phone
bill for it. What this little stunt does is force them to pay for
all that traffic anyway.

Friends of yours? I'm amazed you have any.
